But the real specialty item at the 25th was a women’s scarf -- later to be reissued in a more refined pattern at the 40th. The scarf depicts the sheet music to the refrain of “Going Back”, surrounded by images of Nassau Hall.

We even lend a few of ‘em to our P-rade bands, to wave as flags when they lead us down campus.
